In today's digital age, technology has become an integral part of modern businesses. However, managing technology can be a complicated and time-consuming process that requires specialized skills. This explains why by 2025, more than 60% of organizations will outsource the management of their IT infrastructure.
As IT leaders look to optimize resources and evolve with an organization’s ever-changing needs, they are turning to Modern Service Management to support their tech-driven business strategies. Modern Service Management enables organizations to fill in expertise gaps where needed and frees up their teams to focus on work that moves business strategy forward.
What is Modern Service Management?
Modern Service Management refers to the outsourcing of information technology support and management functions. These services are designed to help businesses with their day-to-day IT needs, such as network monitoring, software updates, data backup and recovery, cybersecurity management, and more.
By outsourcing these services, companies can focus on their core business functions and increase productivity while also reducing costs associated with hiring and training IT staff. This approach provides a more cost-effective and efficient alternative to in-house IT management, with 24/7 support available if problems arise.
How Modern Service Management Works
Modern Service Management offers numerous benefits to businesses of all sizes, including access to a team of IT experts who can help improve system uptime and security, minimize risk, and reduce costs.
Through a subscription-based model, these services can be customized to meet the specific needs of the business and can provide a level of scalability that may not be possible with an in-house IT team. Your Modern Service Management partner ensures that your IT infrastructure is managed according to industry best practices and also offers multiple areas of expertise in databases, security, installations, integration, and administration to optimize your user experience.
This case study does a great job of illustrating how an organization can benefit from Modern Service Management. An industry leader in the railway technology space needed a way to host their Atlassian products without having to worry about the administrative overhead of managing the infrastructure themselves. By bringing on a Modern Service Management partner, the company was able to reduce costs, free up internal resources, and achieve a high-performing Atlassian environment.
A New Approach to Managing Your IT Infrastructure
Technology has never been a 9 to 5 solution. Not to mention, businesses lose cycles trying to connect globally. As we evaluated how we wanted to partner with our clients, we recognized the client’s business strategy was ever-changing, but the technology strategy was stagnant and didn’t support having an agile technology foundation.
We realized there was a need to fulfill, so Praecipio has stepped up to the plate by evolving our managed services offering into Modern Service Management. Moving from a traditional and very transactional model, we sought to modernize with a proactive, holistic view of our client’s technology stack.
Instead of focusing on the tools and the blocking and tackling, Praecipio has taken a DevOps approach to client business processes to modernize work with integration and automation. Modern Service Management is a high-touch model that connects a client’s digital footprint to their goals and growth strategy sothey can get there faster.

The demand for infrastructure management that ensures reliability, security, and scalability has increased as businesses continue to move their operations to the cloud. For many organizations, Microsoft Azure, Active Directory, O365, and Microsoft Exchange are essential components of their cloud-based IT infrastructure. However, managing these environments can be challenging due to a lack of resources and expertise. That's where Stratus, Praecipio’s 24/7-365 infrastructure management and support offering comes in to fill in those gaps.
